Chapter 164 Partition
Jiang Dafu also asked directly, "I wonder, Boss Tian, do you still agree with the cooperation matters we discussed before, that is, the franchise matters." Then Jiang Dafu took out the franchise contract he carried with him and handed it to Tian Xing'er.
Tian Xing'er already knew the content, but she still opened it again and then replied, "Don't worry, I have agreed to all these conditions, there is no problem."
Jiang Dafu still didn't believe it. "But seriously, Boss Tian, with the relationship between your two families, can you still get the fabric from the Fang family? I heard that the cheapest fabric in the whole Northern Dynasty is only available in the Fang family."
"Don't worry, I have also cooperated with other people in the Fang family, not just Fang Shiya. I am a businessman, how could I limit myself to this family? And Fang Shiya is just a small boss. I do business with her father. Her father doesn't do things the way she does. And I heard that Fang Shiya has not yet been formally recognized by her father." Tian Xing'er made up a lot of nonsense. Outsiders only knew that the Fang family did have several children and two sons in the past, and it was indeed impossible for them to leave everything to a daughter.
"You should also know that Master Fang's ability and courage in Jiangnan are beyond the reach of us youngsters, right?"
"Yes, Boss Tian is right." Jiang Dafu was, after all, just a merchant who was slightly better than those outside. The others had only heard of the Fang family, but they were not very clear about what kind of person this Mr. Fang was, and they had never had any contact with him.
Since Tian Xing'er said it so seriously, it might be true. But they had no choice now. Rather than delaying the process and not knowing what the outcome would be, they might as well accept Tian Xing'er. They could only take a gamble.
Because they had used up most of their money to get the franchise quota, if the shop was not opened, it would not be long before their money would be used up, and the interest on the loan would also be due, and they might even lose their shop and house.
"Okay, we accept your invitation and hope that Mr. Tian can keep his promise, but we want a guarantee on how to do the training and decoration, and when the first batch of goods will be available. We need to have a bottom line."
"How bold, Jiang Dafu, this is the county government, how can it be a place for you to discuss these things? Since you are willing to recognize Tian Xing'er as your new partner, even if your case is withdrawn, you have nothing to do here.
And your case, Tian Xing'er, and Fang Shiya's case have been checked, so leave as soon as possible.
In the end, the county magistrate drove everyone away, but Fang Shiya's case had not been closed yet. The review she requested would take some time. But now the actions of Cai Shang and others were indeed illegal. If they were still Fang Shiya's managers, they would also be sentenced for losing a large amount of property of the master of the family. If they were not them, they would be charged with several crimes such as fraud and forgery. In short, their result would be that they would go to jail, and it would only matter how long they would be sentenced.
Fang Shiya and Tian Xing'er also put on a complete show. After leaving the county government office, their belongings were soon thrown out by the Tian family. Fang Shiya left angrily with her people.
This is what everyone saw openly. Privately, Fang Shiya and Tian Xing'er explained to each other, and when leaving, Fang Shiya reminded Tian Xing'er of one thing.
"Sister Xing'er, I heard from my father that there are signs of unrest in our Northern Dynasty. He asked me to tell you that it's best to start stockpiling food. No matter if the world remains stable, you won't make money if you stockpile food."
"Okay, thank Uncle Fang for me. Remember to come to Yingzhou when you have the chance. I believe that we will be different next year, and he will be like the next Shang County."
"Well, I believe you, sister. It's just that I can't show you the detailed accounts this time. This is the general account. I asked someone to copy it. You can keep a copy. This way you will know how profitable our business is. I didn't give you any dividends before because I wanted to open a new shop. Now that you have this franchise method, you can just wait to collect the money in the future. This franchise is indeed a good idea."
Fang Shiya plans to let her father adopt this method to run the business in the future. Before, in order to occupy more space, they only opened stores in county towns and prefectural cities, and did not open stores in some small places. Now that they have this method, they may open more stores, especially in the Jiangnan area.
"However, this method also has its disadvantages. There may be new shop owners in various places who sell their own goods or exchange our good goods for inferior ones to make a profit." Tian Xinger has the memory of her past life and knows that there are some problems with this franchise, but overall the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"We will try to have someone watch over this, but this is unavoidable. Even if we open it ourselves, we cannot guarantee that those who manage it will not cheat. The previous case of Xie Baocai is an example."
"Too."
The two of them only spoke these instructions quietly to one side. When Fang Shiya left, Tian Xing'er and the others were unable to see them out of the city.
On the other side, as soon as the lawsuit was over, Tian Yuheng hurriedly gave the county magistrate a big gift. It was not too thick, but generous enough. The county magistrate was more or less satisfied. As for inviting him to a dinner, the county magistrate would not do that and refused to attend. However, the legal advisor did go.
After dealing with too many county magistrates, Tian Yuheng had to be busy handing over the franchise matters with various merchants. He didn't want his sister to come forward, but he could handle it himself. He was also his sister's manager and the one who received his sister's dividends.
The franchise issues of several towns were easy to resolve, but I didn't expect that there would be several franchisees in the county, and everyone just wanted to get the only one and didn't want others to take it.
Tian Yuheng didn't expect that the franchise quota for this county was sold 4 times. One of them naturally went to Jiang Dafu, who spent a lot of money in bidding for it. The prices of the others were 1 to 2 taels more favorable than his.
When talking about this matter, Tian Yuheng realized that after such a long time, there was no thunderstorm.
"So, regarding the quota for this county, we hope to have one in each of the four positions in the county. Otherwise, we don't know how to deal with it. Or you can wait until we go to the next county?"
Anyway, there is no better way now, and Tian Yuheng doesn't want to waste words with them anymore. He said a lot of nice things before and even increased the discount, but they still didn't want to. This is the only way.
"Okay, but I spent the most money, so I should get the location on West Street. Don't think of complaining. If you have the guts, pay a little more. As long as it's higher than mine, I will give up the location on West Street." Jiang Dafu also understood. Now he couldn't wait any longer. This was the only way. Fortunately, the people in An County were rich, so the business would not be too bad.
He planned to buy more silk products so that he could get his investment back as soon as possible. If the business was good, he would take over the franchise in the next county because he already had a shop there, but it was not very popular.
In the end, it was indeed because of Jiang Dafu's strength that the matter was settled, but they all had the priority to join in the future. It's just that they now feel that these are just empty promises and not very credible.
The rest of the people drew lots to choose, but the thunderstorm did not come, so he could only take the south side which others did not choose, which was slightly worse.
"Second brother, what's going on with Lei Yu? The lawsuit is going on so vigorously but I haven't seen him. Did something happen?" After hearing her second brother say that the matter was resolved except for Lei Yu, Tian Xing'er became curious about where he had gone.
